# Event Details - **Event Name**: RASC Vancouver Monthly Meeting - at H.R. MacMillan Space Centre - **Event Start and End Date**: Wed, 12 Nov, 2025 at 07:00 pm – Wed, 12 Nov, 2025 at 09:30 pm - **Event Description**: Join us for our RASC Vancouver Monthly Meeting at the H.R. MacMillan Space Centre for a talk about starhopping, and telescopes.About this EventTopic: RASC Vancouver's Show and Tell-escope & Beginner's Guide to StarhoppingAbstract: Come and learn all about telescopes; the main ones you might have heard of, some you may not have, how they work, and how to take care of them. A number of our volunteers and council members will be on-site in the lobby of the H.R. MacMillan Space Centre later in the evening, standing at the ready beside their telescopes, ready to answer your questions and chat about the stars. Having a telescope is one thing, but knowing how to use it and your own biological set of peepers in conjunction to view the night sky is another. Prior to the Show and Tell-escope, please join us at 7:00pm in the H.R. MacMillan Space Centre Auditorium on the Lower Level for an approximately 90 minute lecture on how to navigate the night sky by eye, a process some call starhopping. At the end of the evening, you should have a basic idea of how to locate and navigate yourself amongst some of the stars, as well as know enough to begin thinking about using, renting, or purchasing your own telescope.Speaker: Robert Conrad (President RASC Vancouver)Bio: Robert Conrad is currently the President, Observing Director and Education Co-director of the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada (@ Vancouver).
